ULE Now The Default Scheduler On FreeBSD
Dan writes "FreeBSD's Jeff Roberson says that the ULE scheduler has entered into its probationary period as the default scheduler on FreeBSD. He says that if all goes well, it will remain the default through the rest of FreeBSD 5.* releases. He is requesting you to switch over and test it. The ULE scheduler was designed to address the growing needs of FreeBSD on SMP/SMT platforms and under heavy workloads. It supports CPU affinity and has constant execution time regardless of the number of threads."
Think about the amount of posts about BSD proportional to the amound of posts about SCO reflects the amount of users BSD has.
And SCO ain't got no users, so draw your own conclusions.
Click here for the *BSD schedule. Check early and check often: you don't want to miss the wake.
True? Of course not! Everyone here on /. knows that Linux is the perfect OS!
There are no flaws, and there are certainly no other OSes that do anything better!
Anyone who says otherwise is obviously a (insert OS name here)-troll, and should be modded down as such!
We must protect our open source revolution from the evil hordes of BSD, and their fearsome FUD!
Personally, I think it's back asswards... I think if they're goign to waste time doing something like this, that they should make more use of the Linux kernel for it's 'support everything under the sun and moon' - stable, experimental or not as things are and use FreeBSD userland for a standard desktop system while leaving the Linux kernel for other things and FreeBSD OS for server use.
The creator does not deem that as abuse.
Wasn't it Bush that said Freedom should be limited?
